Easily understood information about wetlands.

Picture Book #4
This story is about a girl who explored a marsh and talks about the different parts of the marsh starting with a cattail. As she progresses into the story she talks more and more about the other animals in the marsh but always reviews what she has already said before. Great for a fluency building book.

Picture Book #5

This book was about a little girl who wanted to see what was in the swamp near by. It started off with a cattail, then lead to other things like a frog and muskrat. This book would really help with sentence fluency because it had one sentence and sort of adds on a new topic as the pages go on.
